Whenever I need to imagine what playing Wimbledon in 1975 was like, I flip on some Newport matches and am good to go. Read more

One of the few guys who’s name fits them reversed. Take a good look at this dude and tell me he doesn’t look like his first name should be Dudley Read more

What Giri didn’t realize was that Durant, stooped in the Hugo Boss dressing room, had overheard his queries and began playing a game of his own creation, sending Tony to post from locations, following Giri from shop to shop in two trench coats stacked on top of each other, and asking if the clerks had seen any overly Read more

Somebody please remember to get the smelling salts order submitted in time to be shipped to Portland by Nov. 1. Read more

why on earth is kawhi buying his own boxes? Read more

I know that the picture is of the players shaking hands AFTER the match, but it still reminds me of a lion playing with its prey before eating it. Read more

I’m just imagining Joe Harris at home reading this and being, like, “Hey, guys, why didn’t you call? I also like clubs.” Read more

Great to see another young player coming up.

She’s really fucking good, and I’m guessing clay is her worst surface, since she’s American and runs like a baby bird right now. She beat Kvitova and Pavlyuchenkova as a 16-year old and has been consistently competitive against any of the top 30. Read more

There are a lot of ways that could’ve gone wrong. His footwork is the real key here.

For many years he was a guy that was forced into being a primary playmaker for an offense with no offensive weapons besides Conley and yet fought tooth and nail on defense every night Read more

There’s something about playing in Memphis for the majority of your career that causes players like Mike Conley or Marc to be severely underappreciated. He really has been one of the better two-way stars for the past decade, and I hope he finally gets his ring, it would be extremely deserved.

There’s always been this outside noise that says ‘If Giannis adds a 3 point shot, he’d be unstoppable’, and I’m over here like ‘fuck that, guy needs a midrange jumper’. A wet midrange makes him unstoppable. So many times in this playoff run he’d barrel into a wall and try to dunk, fail, get stripped, etc. The guy is 7 Read more

I hate when I’m the commissioner of the league preparing for an exciting conclusion to another successful season, and some superfan has a hard time calibrating sometimes exactly where that line is, and as a result there have been conversations that’s taken place to tell him to calibrate the line. Like, I'm trying to Read more
